I HAVE RISEN

break is a time to relax and destress from school, but it’s also a good time to catch up on work and boost yourself up with studying!! here are some tips to help you out :)

plan things out

i cannot emphasize this enough. make a plan. i would suggest printing out a calendar and planning out each day. are you going on vacation? mark it on the calendar! have a doctor’s appointment or a party you were planning on going to? mark it on the calendar! calculate the remaining days you have left before school starts again. figure out which subjects to tackle on which days and if you have spare time on the days that you do other things.

be realistic. don’t expect yourself to read through 6 chapters, take notes, do 2 projects, and write 7 essays in one day. not only is this discouraging at the end of the day, it forces more stress on you. space things out. if a subject is more intensive and requires more focusing and studying, allot it more time; perhaps even a full day. remember: you have to eat, drink, sleep, take breaks, etc etc like every other person, so don’t cram your studying in too much.

plan your projects out step by step. figure out when you’re going to finish your assignments. determine what days you’ll read through chapters. figure everything out.

take a break; relax

keep some time to relax. after all, it is a break. plan some fun things to do!! you could read a book that you never had the time to read before! you could practice an instrument more! reconnect with your family! you could watch a movie that you wanted to watch or hang out with your friends! the possibilities are endless; it’s your break.

discipline

if you planned to study biology for an hour, study it for an hour. don’t cheat yourself out on productivity. it only brings you down :( you can always check your dash / feed later. log off your social media accounts and shut off your phone –> back to studying you go !! you can always take a break after that hour is up.

if you find that your house is too distracting for you, go to your local library or a small coffee shop for a change of environment. i personally love the library because they will usually have little study areas / cubicles, it’s quiet, and resources are always available. 

before school

start getting ready for school again a couple days before break ends. go to bed earlier. start waking up at the usual time again. fall back into your school routine. you may have slept in and relaxed during break, but it’s time to go back to school.

at least 5 days before school starts, i go over every assignment and project that i had to do. double check that you completed everything that you needed to do. if not, start doing it now. you have 5 days to do it! (which is a lot better than struggling to finish something the night before school starts)

i believe in you!! you can do this!!

hope this helped and good luck! if you’d like to request a post, go here and if you’d like to see more helpful posts, go here !! thanks :)

Donald Trump pledges to sign anti-LGBTQ 'First Amendment Defense Act'

The law would make anti-LGBTQ discrimination legal among employers, businesses, landlords and healthcare providers on the basis of a religious belief.

Donald Trump has been courting the LGBTQ vote throughout this presidential election, claiming he would be the better choice for the community than opponent Hillary Clinton and promising to protect us from terrorism in his Republican National Convention speech. That argument gets harder to believe by the week, as he gives speeches at anti-LGBTQ events, sticks up for homophobic and transphobic legislation and surrounds himself with bigoted politicians and advisers. Now we have a new offense to add to the list.

Trump has pledged to sign the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), if passed by congress. It was first introduced in the House on June 17, 2015 and would effectively legalize anti-LGBTQ discrimination across the board, including among employers, businesses, landlords and healthcare providers, as long as they claim to be motivated by a firmly held religious beliefs.

It would act to overturn the executive order signed in 2014 by President Obama prohibiting anti-LGBTQ discrimination among federal contractors.

Are there any Filipino studyblrs out there?

Hi Since my studyblr has only been a week old; if you are a Filipino studyblr, like/reblog this post!

It would be nice to get to know one!

Hey guys! We (Jenny and I) decided to create a network to organize blogs by categories so it’s easier for everyone to find other studyblrs who are offering help in a certain subject or who share common interests. We’ve seen a lot of asks like “do you know anyone taking AP Calculus right now?” or “do you know any studyblrs currently at ______ University?” and we thought this index would be the perfect one-stop way of answering those questions (it can be hard to remember who’s attending where and who’s good at what off the top of your head). And so that’s how the STUDYBLR INDEX was born.

Rules:

Must be following the admins – Kat (@muji-princess) and Jenny (@studiversal)

Reblog this post (likes only used for bookmarking)

Add this badge to your blog prior to applying (here is how to do it)

if you have any questions on html, ask our resident coder (Jenny) here!

Fill out this form

That’s all. Everyone who applies will be added onto the blog.

What Will Happen (?):

Your url will be placed in each respective category here.

Why?

You can ask questions about learning a specific subject, taking a standardized test, etc. with people that have experience in that category.

You can form friendships with people that have similar interests as you.

Please note: This blog is not meant to be an advice blog where the members will answer questions. Our goal is to put you in contact with studyblrs who will be then be able to give you advice based on what you’re looking for.

Thanks for taking an interest in the Studyblr Index and we hope to hear from all of you soon! 

I hope at this time next year you’ll listen to your favourite music, hold a cup of hot cocoa in your hands, and smile because everything is okay.

Day 8: notes

Today was a productive day where I made notes for two of my tests coming up - maths tomorrow (see the arithmetic and geometric series formula cards) and then biology the day after (pages and pages of osmoregulation notes because it’s so content-heavy that I had to handwrite them to actually memorise properly!) The colours I used for both notes just happened to coincidentally match, so I stuck them together for today’s photo. Now is it a coincidence that my tests are one day after the other or are my teachers just messing with me?
